# Hide blog posts

Hiding blog posts allows you to create exclusive content for approved wholesale customers. Unauthorized visitors won't be able to view blog posts with the restriction tag.

***

### Setup <a href="#setup" id="setup"></a>

1. Open the **Theme Editor** by clicking **Customize** next to your theme
2. Click **Theme Settings** (gear icon near the top left)
3. Scroll down and click **Account**
4. In the **Hide blog posts with tag** field, enter a tag (e.g., `hide blog`)
5. Click **Save**

***

### Add tags to blog posts <a href="#add-tags" id="add-tags"></a>

1. In your Shopify admin, go to **Online Store** > **Blog posts**
2. Select the blog post you want to restrict
3. In the **Tags** section, add the exact tag you configured (e.g., `hide blog`)
4. Click **Save**

***

### Where blog posts are hidden <a href="#where-hidden" id="where-hidden"></a>

Tagged blog posts will be hidden from:

* Blog listing pages
* Blog post grids
* Search results
* Related posts sections

***

### Important notes <a href="#notes" id="notes"></a>

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Restriction tags are case sensitive!**

Tags must match exactly between the theme settings and your blog posts. For example, if you set `Hide Blog` in theme settings, the blog tag must also be `Hide Blog`—`hide blog` or `HIDE BLOG` won't work.
{% endhint %}

* Blog posts are completely hidden from unauthorized visitors
